Black is Beautiful

June 8, 2020Fashion
+2

To say that these past couple of weeks have taken a toll on me would definitely be an understatement. As if a global pandemic wasn’t enough, the bubbling up of racism in this country as the world witnessed the murder of George Floyd just sent things over the edge. I have shared many of my thoughts about this on Instagram and I encourage you to read if you have not already. And although this is a very difficult time for the world and black people specifically, I cannot be more proud to be a black woman. I have always felt immense pride in being black, despite what we have faced as a people. I come from a long line of unparalleled resiliency that runs through my veins. It is a part of me and it lets me know that we will overcome, despite our circumstances. Like Maya Angelou so eloquently stated, still we rise!

So although there is much work to be done ahead, I am hopeful in looking at the future. The work is just beginning and although many conversations have started, it must be followed up with action. And that goes from the smallest level of asking why a brand does not have more diverse campaigns to higher levels or calling on/voting for elected officials that will enact real change. I appreciate all of the ears that have been open and eager to listen. I appreciate the muting of your voice so that others that don’t typically have a platform can be heard. I appreciate the love and support. Thank you!

#ad Let’s normalize celebrating your body, even #ad Let’s normalize celebrating your body, even if you desire to make changes to it. Let’s normalize working out for other reasons than just weight loss. Let’s focus on being the best version of ourselves, rather than the idea of another person’s life/body that we covet. Life is simply too short to not embrace your own amazing journey.

Connecting mind, body and spirit by doing a little beach yoga in this @lululemon gear and yoga mat. I’m awful at yoga if I’m being real. But I’m trying to do new things and allow my body to surprise me with its capabilities. Check out links to these items in my stories! @shopstyle #thesweatlife

These are just a fraction of the comments that I see. And while some of these are made in jest, your words and thoughts have so much power. You are not shaped like a (insert object). You are a person. And I don’t want to see this language anymore. K? Love ya!

I saw this quote and it stopped me in my tracks. Sometimes we get so caught up in our day-to-day or obsessing over things we don’t like about ourselves. In 2021, I’m challenging all of us (including myself) to think higher, think bigger. Our lives are so much more vast and meaningful than we imagine. Be the ocean...

We are in a brand new year and with that comes a “New Year, New You” mentality. And there is nothing wrong with setting goals for changes you want to make in your life, from your body to your daily habits. Just remember that it’s a marathon, not a sprint and to practice grace & kindness throughout.

Happy New Year’s Eve! What a crazy year it has been. I don’t know about you, but I am very much looking forward to brighter days in 2021. Today I’m celebrating even though I’m at home in this fabulous dress that I got from @stitchfix. It’s the perfect way to ring in the New Year. I’ll see you in 2021! #stitchfix #stitchfixinfluencer
